Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of optofluidic technology, and in particular relates to a vortex micro-mixer based on an array micro heat source and a mixing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Due to their short reaction time, high throughput, and low reagent consumption, microfluidic devices can be effectively applied in many fields, including biomedical diagnostics, drug delivery, chemical synthesis, and enzymatic reactions. However, the rate-limiting step in the detection of chemical and biological reagents is usually the process of mixing the sample with the reagent. This phenomenon is due to the low rate of diffusive transport in liquid systems, even at the microscale. To achieve microfluidic applications that require mixing, many micromixing methods have been reported. These methods include: chaotic advection method, hydrodynamic focusing method, electrodynamically driven mixing method, three-dimensional combined mixing method, me...
